Give her the key to your heart this Valentine's Day


It's difficult to find a Valentine's Day gift for your lady, so we're sharing our top picks that we think will win over your significant other on February 14th. For the gals out there, go ahead and indulge with something special this V'Day.

A vintage key necklace is a quixotic gift, since it's a one-of-a-kind piece that holds a certain mysterious nostalgia. The keys that we've found date back to the 1800s, if not before. They may have traveled here from France, Germany, or many other parts of the world and once unlocked a secret treasure chest, or even an old jail cell. We salvage each hand-selected key from antique shops and flea markets and pair them with mixed chains into re-purposed, unique accessories. We pictured 2 of our skeleton key necklaces below. Check out our Etsy site for more of a selection.


We used found strands of chandelier crystals to create our romantic bracelets, which we've pictured below, next to our red Czech-glass, beaded bar necklace. The sparkling red beads are beautiful accessories for any Valentine. Both are available at http://www.etsy.com/shop/CharmsCityCompany

 
Another great Valentine's Day gift is a bottle of wine or champagne, tied with a pretty ribbon in pink, red or gold. You could dangle a personalized wine charm to the bottle for as an added touch. Check out our last blog post to see our vintage game piece wine charms. The Scrabble ones are our favorite.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's day. For more gifting ideas that will melt any girl's heart, check out our website: www.CharmsCityCompany.com. Thanks for reading. :)
